Sep 23 Pablo Escobar's Brother Sues Netflix for $1 Billion

Pablo Escobar’s 71-year-old brother, Roberto de Jesus Escobar Gaviria, has sued Netflix for $1 billion over a copyright claim against Narcos, the Hollywood Reporter reports. The lawsuit was filed last year by Escobar Inc., a company owned by Gaviria, and took issue with Netflix’s use of Pablo Escobar’s name and story without permission.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter from his home in Colombia, Gaviria was frank about his dislike of the concept of the Netflix show.
